Four wagons of a goods train derailed near the Lalru railway station here on Thursday afternoon.

A major mishap was averted as the wagons were carrying inflammable material in tankers at the time

of incident.

As a precautionary measure, fire tenders were deployed at the spot.

Ambala Divisional Railway Manager Vinod Kumar Bhatia, along with the branch officers, reached the site to oversee and expedite the restoration work.

No damage to railway property or staff took place, an official said.

Four trains were delayed due to the incident.

Normal traffic was restored at 2.39 pm, more than half an hour after

the incident.

The railway authorities from Patiala also rushed to the spot to remove the derailed wagons.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
